Assessment

model confidence: under Technical details
Read the full assessment

Iran's nuclear policy remains unchanged, with officials denying any new decisions to alter its doctrine. However, statements from the Foreign Ministry and Supreme National Security Council indicate a rhetorical shift, suggesting a potential policy change could occur if a new war erupts or in response to US pressure. This conditional signaling introduces ambiguity regarding future intentions.
